This study confirms the poor prognosis of patients with N3 neck disease, mainly when treated by radiotherapy alone. A radical neck dissection associated with adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated whenever feasible. Because of the high rate of distant metastasis, protocols including adjuvant chemotherapy should be investigated.
